During WWI, WWII, Korean War, and the Vietnam War, fighting men were just doing their duty. War heros in those wars HAD TO EARN that title! By being awarded the "V" device or other such medal, such as the Bronze Star w/V (the Bronze Star, in Vietnam, could be award for Meritorius Achievement), Silver Star, Medal of Honor, etc. etc.
After the Vietnam War, civilians (and to some extent the military) began abusing that title, calling everybody a hero...which reduced the value of the real heros...to the point where YOU MUST NOW QUESTION...What's a hero?!
For the American Fighting Men of WWII, Korea, and the Vietnam Wars, we were just doing our jobs as the military ordered it to be done (combat veterans). When any man was awarded a medal for gallantry (Valor), he earned it on the field of battle (war hero). That's the difference.

Did war veterans returning to the us get a hero's welcome by American people?

Why are veterans America's heros?
That's a good question, given that there are numerous additional candidates: fire fighters, police officers, Peace Corp volunteers, etc. Veterans put their lives on the line for their country, even when the war in which they fought was ill-advised.
Why were the veterans treated badley when they came back from war?
WW2 returning veterans were deservedly treated as heros; parades and all. They had won the good fight! I agree. Some had a hard time competing for a job with civilians who had stayed in the States and worked in the factories. However, many of the women who had filled in during the war quite work, which provided openings for the returning Vets.
